Re: Bore polish or not????
I think the scratches are so minute that your going to gain a little friction free area for the bore

Re: Require a Peg on Bottom of Car?
If this is for your pack race and you are the PWD chairman you could make it happen........But does the council and district race use your track..........I have to say it's a bad idea right now just for the simple fact there are so many variances in the track right now

Re: What is a good time???
We just finished our race this weekend, and we have a wooden 4 lane track that is very nice. It is 40 feet in length. I am with the Royal Rangers group and our best time was 3.03 secs. Does that sound like a good time compared? Just curious on some input to see how well we did. Ben I have asked thi...

Re: Q-tips vs Pipe Cleaners.
I tried using the Q-Tip method with Micro-Gloss this year. I had to sand down the Q-Tip shaft in order to get it to fit. I applied the Mirco-Gloss and started with the first wheel. Everything was going fine, then suddenly I noticed a lot of black on the Q-Tip. When I looked closer, it was melted pla...

Re: Anyone ever use lapping film?
I had a question regarding axle preparation. I've used sandpaper up to 4000 grit and recently micro-mesh down to 1 micron. I've recently seen stuff called "lapping film" which seems to be used in the scientific field. It has abrasive particles down to 0.1 microns! Is this overkill, or do ...
